Kevin Durant asks fans to watch Apple TV's 'Swagger', gets roasted: 'Win a ring first'
It was a big Friday for sports fans across the country with Colin Kaepernick's 'Colin in Black & White' and the Kevin Durant executive-produced Apple TV+ series 'Swagger' releasing at the same time. The latter is a basketball sports drama that was inspired by the NBA superstar's early experiences.
The series follows Jace Carson (Isiah Hill), a phenom in Washington DMV. He's part Giannis Antetokounmpo with that work-in-progress musculature, he's part James Harden with that aggressive offense, he's got shades of LeBron James in him with that fade away. In short, he's slated to be the next big thing in the NBA. 'Swagger faces stiff competition from Ava DuVernay's 'Colin in Black & White', the Netflix limited series focusing on the high school years of activist and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
